velop, in the condition shown in Fig. 1,

severs the tab 9 and moves the envelop from the card. The envelop maythen be :unfolded into thecondition shown in Fig. 3, whereupon an ordermay be inscribed on that face 1 of theblank which is disclosed in Fig.3,. Thereafter, the envelop may be folded up, the flap 4 being sealeddown by the. ad-

hesive 5.

As shown in Fig. 5, the flap 8 is provided V with a pair of tabs 9 whichare'perforated as shown at 10.

In Fig. 6, the tab 9 is adhesively attached to the flap 8 and is adaptedtoengage adhesively with the card as before.

In Fig. 7, the flap 8 is shortened and tapered, and terminates in anadhesive tab 9*.

In the form of envelop shown in Fig. 6,

the tab 9 is attached to the flap 8 not being formed integral therewith,the same being mucilaged upon one side so as to adhesively engage theflap 8 and also provide a means for attachment to the card 1.

In the construction shown in Fig. 7, the flap 8 is of lesser length thanthe flaps 8, 8' and 8 asheretofore described, the same having a taperededge terminating in the integral flap 9 which corresponds to the flap 9heretofore described.

From the foregoing description, taken in connection with the drawings,it is evident that with an envelop constructed according to the presentinvention, that the parts will be properly held upon the card 1 so as toprotect the calendar or other advertising device, and yet be readily andeasily removed spondence or for constituting a correspondence card orenvelop of itself.

By providing the small tabs for properly holding the flap 8 in place,the flaps 6 and 7 are looked upon the card 1 and thus the present devicewith no other connection than the tab 9 will. remain properly assembledupon the'card 1.

What is claimed is:

1'. An envelop blank having a rectangular central portion, four flaps,one extending from each'edge of the central portion .the two oppositeflaps being short with substantially parallel outer edges, one of thelonger flaps carrying adhesive upon its free edges, and an adhesivecarrying tab projecting from one'edge of the remaining long flap,

whereby when the two short flaps ande the.

adhesive carrying longer flap are folded against the central portionandian article of greater length than/the central portion is slippedbetween the two short flaps and such I folded long flap, the remaininglong flap incloses the opposite face of the article and theshort flapand the parts are held so folded by the tab adhesively engaging thearticle.

2. The combination with a card, of an en'- velop comprising a body andfree flaps,the body shielding one end ofthe card and the other end ofthe card being exposed beyond the body, the fiapsbeing folded withr'espect to the body and the'eard, one fiap"being provided with aseverable tongue con- Copies 'of this patent maybefobtaind for nected tothecard thereby to'maintain the flaps folded and to hold the envelopdetachably' upon the card to permit a removal of the envelop from thecard; and means for 20 securing the flaps in closed positions withrespect tothe body, after the tongue is severed, and after the envelophas been re:

folded independently of the card. i
